Fed Chief Edges Closer to Using Rates to Pop Bubbles - WSJ.com

The Fed Chief is opening the door to interest rate boosts.

Fed Chief Edges Closer to Using Rates to Pop Bubbles - WSJ.com

My advice: Beware of Federal policymakers who think that higher rates/prices are the way to stimulate a weak economy.  This is way simpler than Econ 101, but not for the Feds, who doggishly cling to failed economic policy emphasizing government intervention as the solution to economic ills.  [Note: It is true that judicious regulation, which was lacking in the runup of the housing bubble, is a valid role of government, but not economic intervention.  It's a tool they like to use because they are so self-focused!]  - David
